Recovery Manager Hangs

Q:Recovery Manager Hangs

I need to do a full system recovery on my V6310US laptop running Vista Home. I have the HP recovery disk. When it gets to the second screen (reformatting Windows and reinstalling original content) of Recovery Manager, the program hangs at Progress: 15%. Is this normal? If not, what's going on? Any suggestions?

Recovery Manager Hangs

I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.

I tried one more time, and suddenly it stopped hanging and churned through the recover process and re-installed all the original programs. Now, I have anotherr problem but I will start a new thread for it if I don't find any answers in these forums.

So a while ago my Manager can't HP Why Up Offi... Open save Recovery Manager/Back automatic updates told me I should upgrade to Windows on my Windows Why can't HP Recovery Manager/Back Up Manager save Open Offi... computer I did I've used it find for a while and then suddenly Why can't HP Recovery Manager/Back Up Manager save Open Offi... it started repairing itself and I got one of those bsod that eventually lead me to a nbsp pick a keyboard set up It of course made it so that I couldn't use any ports keyboards or mice no matter which I used After some reading I was told to go back to factory settings but before I did that I used the backup manager that HP offers I selected music videos and documents actually I think I selected all of the available options Anyhow once my computer was finished backing itself up onto my external harddrive with the HP program I reset the computer back to factory settings Upon opening the recovery manager and searching through my recovered files i have everything except my Open Office Files Is there a reason why this happened Did I do something wrong Does anyone know why it wouldn't have accepted those as documents to back up I'm extremely frustrated as I am a writer a poor one obviously since I have to use a free program instead of Microsoft Office and everything I was working on is simply gone with no explanation nbsp nbsp Can anyone help me understand Possibly even help me find the files if they are somewhere not quite so obvious

I am on Windows 10, and for the past couple months I have had booting/BSOD errors that usually give me "bad_system_config_info" and occasionally, "0xc000021a ". Sometimes, I have been able to boot in by accessing the UEFI settings, other times it seems like it just randomly decides to let me log in to my computer normally. When I am able to login, I check for viruses and I haven't found any, as well as run commands like "sfc/scannow", "chkdsk", or "bootsect". I am trying to recreate recovery media via the HP Recovery Manager, but each time I insert the empty flashdrive, the Recovery Manager suddenly crashes. Please, any response to these combined issues would be greatly appreciated, I haven't been able to use this laptop regularly for months now.

I am running windows 7 on my laptop. I has windows vista before the upgrade. I had recovery discs for windows vista created from the recovery manager. I tried to make discs for windows 7. I would like to know why it won't let me make a disc for windows 7 because if I had trouble and needed to put in the recovery discs I wouldn't want to use the ones i had for windows vista. what should i do? here are screenshots to show what happens when i try to create the discs for windows 7.

If I abandon my efforts to install the latest Windows 10 update, would it be a feasible and a good choice for me to command HP Recovery Manager to make the "Minimized Image Recovery" to the factory condition of OS (Windows 7 Home Edition) with drivers and select software? I have used HP Recovery Mgr to backup my files on an external hard drive. Next question: How do I restore those files to my computer? Should the restoration be done in Windows 7 or after I install Windows 10 on my computer?

I have a hp pavilion g7-1219wm Notebook PC and upgraded from windows 7 home premium to the new windows 10 and the hp set up manager and hp recovery manager will not open the user account control says this app has been blocked for your protection.

A:Recovery Manager Problem (Recovery fails)

I found away past it. Just close the window with the "X". Don't hit retry or it will just keep starting over. The box will appear a few more times during the process, but just keep hitting X and it should go through. Worked for me! I'm not sure if there are features or files missing because of the errors, but the system seems to work fine so far.

I removed some spyware and recovery from Manager not Recovery Gateway the does work viruses from my father-in-laws computer It works ok for a little bit but then I will get a BSOD with the STOP x e error I do not have the peripherals that originally were installed on the system as I only took the tower to work on and have my own mouse keyboard and monitor installed Would this cause the problem At any rate I want to use the Gateway Recovery Center to do a factory system restore When I open it up and chose the factory restore option it wants me to restart my computer I chose to restart but it doesn't do the restore I have also asked it before to do a scandisk check recovery from the Gateway Recovery Manager does not work on start up but it won't do that either I have the mini dump files from the BSOD messages but I am just wondering if I should go ahead and take it back to his house and hook up the normal monitor and such and see if I get the BSOD then It doesn't seem to have any particular triggers like now I have had it on and running just fine for about minutes just trying the things that I have tried before It is running Windows Update now as it hasn't had any updates since March of this year I did a System Restore and then used Spybot S D to remove what was there whatever it had at the time would cause the computer to go to a blank white screen after about seconds on the desktop at startup I was told that it had started with some FBI pop up that was asking them to send to them to unlock their system or such Spybot caught a trojan something like fakeporn and removed it Since then the computer will start up normally but then give me te BSOD after a while It will start in safemode and run ok Guide me OMG don't judge me

A:Don't have Recovery partition and Recovery Manager to Reset ...

Hi there @HPian_B, Before I provide troubleshooting documentation, I would like to take a minute to welcome you to the HP Support Community, where you can ask questions, find solutions and get help from the community! I read that you would like to reset your HP Pavilion g6-2310ex Notebook PC to factory settings. Please read the document called Backing Up Your Files. This will provide you with ways to back up the files you have on your Notebook. Here is a document for you to read called Creating Recovery Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive. I pulled some information from the document for you. The first thing I would like to make you aware of is that only DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R, or DVD+R DL discs are compatible with the Recovery Media Creation program. The following disc types are not compatible with the Recovery Media Creation program:CDsDVD-RWDVD+RWDVD-RW DLDVD+RW DLYou will then also see that in the document it says: The Recovery Media Creation software program allows only one complete set of discs to be created.The Recovery Media Creation software program requires an uncorrupted recovery partition (Recovery Image (D) to create a set of discs. Uncorrupted means the recovery partition has not been modified or removed.The creation process takes about 30 minutes per DVD. The entire recovery set does not need to be created in one session.The Recovery Media Creation software can be aborted at any time, except during the writing (burning) process, by clicking Cancel. The next time the Recovery Media Creation software program is run, it automatically starts where it last stopped.You can use the recovery discs you create on your computer on another computer only if the second computer is the same model as the one that created the recovery discs.Here is a document called Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 7) and another called Recover Windows 7 Operating System Using Microsoft Windows Backup and Restore. - This is used to Recover, Restore, or do a Clean Install of Windows 7. Please make sure that you read these documents very carefully before you decided to reset to factory settings. Thanks for being a part of the HP community. Please let me know if this helps resolve the issue by marking this post as "Accept as Solution". If you require further assistance let me know and I will gladly do all I can to help. Please also re-post with the exact error message you received. If you wish to say "thanks" for my effort to help, click the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos. Thanks!Have a great day

I had deleted recovery partition because of boot mgr error. pre-installed OS: Windows 8.1 I have also ordered two sets of hp recovery disc but both shows same error (boot mgr) but yesterday I can't even open system recovery from hp recovery disc by press F11, even I try to change bios setting from secure boot to legacy boot but can't open system recovery What I do now?

I recently added a Toshiba laptop to my wireless home network. It has 1.5Ghz Celeron M processor, 512 ram, XP Home. I use Microsoft Portfolio Manager Deluxe on my Sony desktop 2.4 Ghz Pent4, 728 ram, XP Home and it works perfectly. After installing the necessary software on the laptop, the program tries to load , but then hangs up. On extremely rare tries it does load in (very slowly). I have tried the various fixes recommended on the Microsoft KB eg: uninstall & reinstall; graphics hardware accelerator changes etc. but nothing works. Any suggestions, or is the processor just too slow to handle it?

My laptop crashed but I was bale to recover my data from the drive using an external cable to the drive on my desktop PC. I can see the recovery partition, can I make a recover USB from the drive without it being in my laptop?

A:Re: Don't have Recovery partition and Recovery Manager to Re...

Hi there, Do you not have Recovery discs?How did you previously load Windows 7 on your Notebook? The media creation software allows only one system image to be created. If you created a set of recovery discs, you can not create a system image on a USB drive. The media creation software requires an uncorrupted recovery partition (FACTORY_IMAGE D. Uncorrupted means that the recovery partition has not been modified or removed. That being said, at this point, I cannot guarantee that the image will work on your USB.

A:Device Manager Hangs/dvd Writer Won't Install

Try physically disconnecting the drives (both cables on each) and then boot to see if your system behaves normally.If so, then I'd suspect that one of the drives has died. Try hooking them up one at a time to see if you can isolate which one it is.

Hi everyone I have a problem I wasn t able to fix myself and hope someone can help me fix it yesterday I was trying to plug in a new cellphone to my computer with the usb cable that came with it it did not come with any software or drivers of any kind windows was Manager drivers? usb Device fault hangs? unable to make it work so i gave up and just uninstalled it from the device Device Manager hangs? fault usb drivers? manager today late in the day while browsing or doing stuff i noticed my mouse would freeze hang every once in a while sometimes very frequently sometimes every couple of seconds looking for some ideas online i learned it could be the device manager looking for something and not finding it to help confirm this possibily my mouse died on two occasions with windows giving me those little information bubbles on the taskbar saying some usb device quot failed quot or whatnot sorry forgot the exact words and then the mouse was dead and i had to restart my theory is i quot broke quot something in the drivers and junk looking for some solutions the very last thing i tried today before i gave up was starting in safe mode uninstalling all USB devices unplug my USB mouse restarting windows normally and letting windows reinstall everything pluggin the USB mouse back in and letting windows install that last my mouse still hangs when i move it around i scanned for EVERYTHING and couldn t find a thing but am Device Manager hangs? fault usb drivers? more than willing to submit a hijackthis log if anyone would like it my thoughts on this are that the corrupted drivers are still in the system and windows just keeps reusing them since it probably has nothing else when i rebooted i booted with my xp cd in but windows never asked for anything it just installed the ones in the hdd by itself otherwise i would have redirected it to the CD instead my next idea is forcing it to ask me but i don t know how to do that if you think this is the solution let me know how i could do that or if you think the problem orginates elsewhere or you have any other ideas whatsoever let me know thank you very much for your time nbsp

A:Device Manager hangs? fault usb drivers?

in desperation i found and installed the OLD (i mean old) drivers that came with my mouse so that they don't use the faulty windows ones that i broke. (windows default were perfect till i broke it trying to install that cellphone )

I have a Logitech iFeel Mouse.

i'm trying to purposely make the mouse hang again by moving it around very fast. seems to be holding up really well.

i'll mark it solved if i can't manage to break it again. edit:still hangs. how can i delete all the usb drivers on my pc and reinstall from cd?

Hello, I'm at a loss and afraid I've lost all my files. Every time I restarted my computer I kept getting the Windows Boot Manager error message: Status: 0xc000000f Info: An error occured while attempting to read the boot configuration data. However, after googling and trying numerous methods to repair this, I now keep getting prompted with the Windows Recovery Manager. I assumed that choosing the default factory restore option would prompt me with a back up option, but it didn't and proceeded to reformat. I quickly shut my computer down. I don't know what to do next because now all I get is the Windows Recovery Manager option. Any help would be much appreciated!

A:Windows Boot Manager Error / Windows Recovery Manager Issue

If this string of events actually did start to reformat the drive, it might still be recoverable. I would boot the computer to an independent OS IE: Linux Live on a CD or DVD and then look at the drive. Then use that to copy your data to another drive. Once the data is saved, then do whatever you want with this corrupted drive. Do not try to continue with any other operations until the data is saved elsewhere.Since this PC came with Vista, once the data is saved, you could try the HP REcovery Manager to restore the original OS. Or just start over this a new install of windows 7

A:Recovery hangs on disk 2

Maybe they gave you the wrong dvds. If it was me I would use the windows disk that should have come with your computer to format the drive and do a clean install of windows with nothing else on it and then get whatever drivers you need from the internet. Do you have this disk? For more info look on youtube for Windows 7 clean install. Remember once you get the computer with a working operating system, get a good antivirus like Avast or AVG.

I have had multiple instances now where Windows hung after I started up and logged into an account It seems to happen when I try to start a program by double-clicking on it not 7 hangs after Windows available Manager login/bootup; Task For example it has hung when I tried to start CCleaner or Firefox When I get into this state Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing In some cases I can right-click on the Taskbar and choose quot Task Manager quot Windows 7 hangs after login/bootup; Task Manager not available but it won't run I just get the hourglass cursor Today I tried to start Firefox and nothing happened and the hourglass cursor shows in the Taskbar so I can't even see the menu for the Task Manager This is happening on a Toshiba laptop running Windows Home Premium -bit It seems to occur when I don't wait long enough for the login to finish When it happens the only way out is to hold down the power key until it shuts off the system Of course Windows is too stupid to tell me when it is done loading stuff into memory and starting its services why can't they simply tell me when the login process is done and the system is ready to use I find it infuriating that a supposedly multi-threaded multi-tasking operating system can be so flaky But enough of my rant on to the possible cause Windows 7 hangs after login/bootup; Task Manager not available I strongly suspect that my problems may be caused by SpySweeper since it seems to be the last program that loads at login Or at least it's the last one to put up an annoying splash screen I use the following programs on my machine Windows Defender Avast Antivirus Malwarebytes Anti-Malware SuperAntiSpyware Spybot Search amp Destroy SpySweeper I have read that SpySweeper sometimes conflicts with other programs so I turned off real-time protection for Windows Defender I have read conflicting opinions on whether SpySweeper conflicts with Spybot's TeaTimer program Do I need to somehow turn off TeaTimer too Even if SpySweeper is the cause of my problems I find it very disturbing that misbehaving or even deadlocked application programs should be able to prevent the Task Manager from running If you have any other ideas on what might be happening I'd love to hear them

Ok so here is this problem - in all fairness I haven t done a lot of troubleshooting on it yet but I can tell it will be something I will have to research online a bit I installed a new LG Blu Ray burner into a Dell PC running Win XP Pro SP After a user tried to run a disk my computer would hang the system and lock everything up I eventually got it to Drive Hangs on C Open Windows - Manager Disk Can't open my computer Now the problem is that If I try to open the Windows Can't Open C Drive - Hangs on Disk Manager quot C quot root drive explorer hangs and Windows Can't Open C Drive - Hangs on Disk Manager will not respond I tried to go to Disk Management but it just hangs and says quot Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service connecting quot but it never connects My Computer will also hang if I try to go View gt Details in the window options The computer will also not reboot properly and you have to force shut down on it in order to reboot It does all the steps of reboot but just sits at the last screen and doesn t do anything The system will also not perform system restore to any point in time I went into Services and saw under quot Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service quot that it s status was quot Starting quot I killed most non-microsoft services and programs that boot on windows start up This hasn t solved the issue In Safe Mode everything seems to be working normally Anyone have any experience on this Thanks in advance - brad nbsp

this is a problem i have been having win pro amd whql drivers when if a full screen game or d stuff hangs up game a 8 focus on manager can't hangs task windows when on windows you can open the task manager by any means ctrlshift esc or ctrl alt sup windows 8 can't focus on task manager when a game hangs or alt tab and right click task bar and end the process but on windows the games keeps some kind of lock on the desktop and i can't kill the process because i can't get focus on the task manager I can see the task bar i can alt tab and with alt tab i can see what's going on the rest of the windows but i can't input anything on them except on metro apps and start screen so i can't access the task manager and kill the app When something like that happened on win you could still open the task manager above the game and end it I have to log off and log on in order to kill the application anybody got info on this behavior

A:windows 8 can't focus on task manager when a game hangs

I had the same thing happen to me today while playing Crysis 3. I chalked mine up to dual monitors, because the task manger opened up on the 2nd screen and couldn't access it to kill the process. Ffs, I can't remember how I got it to kill it....but I did. Damn.

Compaq Presario SR1717CL wouldn't go on the internet (browser vanished), couldn't get the USB ports in the front to reinstall the browser, so I tried a repair from the recovery console. It hung at Windows Setup numerous times until I pressed F5 and chose Standard PC with C-Step i486. It completed the repair but I think that wasn't the option I should have chosen because I now have NO functional USB ports.

I tried another two repairs and selected both ACPI options respectively, but it still hangs at Windows Setup. I've looked at the BIOS and don't see anything with regard to ACPI. I'm almost positive that the PC is ACPI compliant because it was new in 2005.

Checked the ram with memtest and it came back no errors after one pass.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A:[SOLVED] XP Pro Recovery Repair Hangs

you can by pass this by pressing F7 at the setup. But if XP loaded and it is working fine, then go to Start/Run and type devmgmt.msc and press enter.

Did you ever get an answer. Same problem here. Been at 99% for an hour now.

In attempt to recover deleted data from my hard disk i have run several Data Recovery applications and all seem to freeze at a specific point (cluster) during the scan and the har disk will make a noise, electrical of some kind or metal scraping then the entire OS would hang. I tried chkdsk and defragmenting with no change. I also thought that due to bad clusters the scan might be just super slow and left for 2 whole days with no result.

My guess is that the hard disk needs to be changed soon but for now i would like to recover some of the lost data. Any useful feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I would use something like Acronis to take a snap shot of the drive. Replace the drive then restore that snap shot and try to scan it again on the new drive from the restored image.

A:Samsung won't boot, then hangs when trying to access recovery

Try F7 or Esc. If you do a reset all the personal data and programs you installed will be erased.

Hold the Power Button for 5 seconds or until the computer completely shuts off. Press the Power Button to turn the computer on. As soon as you see the rotating loading circle, press and hold the Power Button until the computer shuts off. Repeat this process 2 or 3 times until you see the Preparing Automatic Repair screen. Let the computer boot to the Automatic Repair screen. Click Advanced Options, and then select Troubleshoot.

Hello I have been having trouble for a couple weeks with Firefox Every so often Firefox will hang and cause a total system freeze for a short period of time Sometimes this can cause explorer to crash too other times if for example I was watching a YouTube video or a Twitch stream I get a message saying the crashes/hangs Firefox computer, Task constantly Manager Explorer freezes shockwave plugin is not responding This would then again cause an entire system lock up I would then begin to attempt to open up task manager with the Ctrl Shift Esc combination On my computer it would always instantaneously open up During these experiences Firefox freezes computer, Explorer Task Manager constantly crashes/hangs it does not show up at all So I would then attempt to right click the taskbar to open Task Manager from the options there The taskbar as I'm assuming explorer was still hung would not respond for a couple minutes until finally the menu pops up I would then select Task Manager After a short while maybe seconds Task Manager would finally show up It is here that I would see that there are two Task Manager processes So I would attempt to kill one I would select the one that was kb which I'm assuming is the one that hasn't shown up yet as the other one had kb This would be in vain as attempting to kill most processes was also in vain So I started a round of anti virus and malware checks I originally started with an Avast boot time scan I received an error of I looked into this and it seems as though Avast was failing to scan an archived file After this completed scanning I started a whole system scan in Avast during full boot It gave me a minor PUP discovery After quarantining the file Avast was done Being a thorough person I from there used Malwarebytes This whole system scan gave me another minor threats which it as well quarantined I still have had issues since The latest occurrences have been with Firefox still Malwarebytes and Firefox freezes computer, Explorer Task Manager constantly crashes/hangs a specific video game I like to play Killing Floor Firstly Firefox now does not load up websites correctly basically it seems like only the text shows up It still has the shockwave plugin issue Now the Malwarebytes issue Last night I decided to run another scan When it started Malwarebytes completely froze up and was unresponsive for a couple minutes It then came back and said it could not load the DDA driver I researched this as well and it says it could be possible due to conflicting Antivirus scanners As I had nothing else running I was a little concerned So I restarted my computer as instructed by Malwarebytes and it never automatically came back up as stated as well Finally the most minor issue is with Killing Floor No matter what servers I connect too whether the ping is or my connection ping is unbearable Roughly - ping While not being able to play this is a nuisance I'm more afraid my computer might be spreading malware to these servers so I have thusly not opened it since I'm really sorry about how lengthy the post was like I said above I am just very thorough and attempt to give as much detail so as to help I appreciate all the help I receive Andrew DDS Log DDS Ver - - - NTFS AMD Internet Explorer BrowserJavaVersion Run by Andrew at on - - Microsoft Windows Home Premium GMT - AV Panda Cloud Antivirus Enabled Updated B-FDAA-FFFD- C - BB D C AV avast Antivirus Enabled Updated AD D -BA - C - - A AD B SP Panda Cloud Antivirus Enabled Updated F EF-DB -F - C - C CD SP Windows Defender Enabled Updated D DDC A- F- fae- E -DA C ACF SP avast Antivirus Enabled Updated ACCC CA - C - C - B -AFE D E FW Panda Cloud Firewall Disabled C DF E-B C -FEA - D D-D D FW avast Antivirus Disabled F FC -F D- D E- A E- DA C EAF Running Processes C Windows system lsm exe C Windows system svchost exe -k DcomLaunch C Windows system svchost exe -k RPCSS C Windows System svchost exe -k LocalServiceNetworkRestricted C Windows System svchost exe -k LocalSyste...

Hello I have been having some issues for the last couple of days with my computer I first experienced trouble with Firefox while watch a simple Twitch Stream For no reason as the computer was completely idle save the stream I received a message saying Shockwave Player or some script on the crashes/hangs Firefox constantly Task Manager Explorer freezes computer, Moved* page stopped responding The popup gave me the option to wait for the script to respond or to kill it I attempted to kill it by opening up Task Manager This took maybe minutes to open up while in the process hung my entire system the whole time and then Firefox freezes computer, Explorer Task Manager constantly crashes/hangs Moved* led to Firefox itself to completely lock up As well when attempting to open up Task Manager in the first place if at first Firefox freezes computer, Explorer Task Manager constantly crashes/hangs Moved* the window did not show up I would attempt to open Firefox freezes computer, Explorer Task Manager constantly crashes/hangs Moved* it again The first time by using the Ctrl Shift Escape combination and when that was unsuccessful as it normally pops up instantly I would thusly right click the taskbar to open it that way By doing this method it would take minutes for the popup from the taskbar itself to showup After finally getting Task Manager open I would see two different Task Manager processes One at roughly k kilobytes of memory while the other As someone with a tiny bit of OCD I would close the smaller kilobyte one by right clicking it to kill the process from the popup menu Right clicking the process would give me no window nor would hitting kill process from the tab on the Task Manager window itself do anything So from there I started my virus scanners At first I performed an Avast boot time scan that gave me an error I researched into this and it apparently is Avast not able to access a file in side an archive So when the system fully booted up I ran the normal Avast full system scan which gave me threat A minor one Then I ran a MalwareBytes full system scan which gave me threats These were both quarantined Still I had issues So I decided to try the Panda Cloud scanner as I was told it could scan run without interfering with Avast as it was on the cloud This as well gave me threats which it says it fixed I still am having issues with my computer nothing has changed So I decided then to do a HijackThis scan to get a log I was hoping if it were possible for me to receive help on understanding what issues I have and interpret my log I appreciate any help I receive Thanks Andrew Edit I'm really sorry I realized I posted this in the wrong forum I do apologize for this

My question is hopefully simple. I recently reinstalled Windows 7 on my HP Pavilion 6000 series desktop using the HP Recovery Manager app built-in to the computer. The restore went well, without any hitches. What I need to know is whether the process wiped the hard drive clean. That is, is the data I created, e.g., Excel, Word files, etc., still there even though the file names, etc. have been deleted? Is the computer hard drive wiped such that I could donate the computer and not worry about someone using some data recover utility to find and recreat the data that was on my C:\ partition?

Hey from where to download hp recovery manger for windows 10 ? 2. when i purchase laptop i have pre installed windows 8.1 then i formatted and clean install windows 10. now how to get back like when we purchased new laptop

I read in another board that HP Recovery Manager can be accessed from the start menu. But it cannot be accessd from the Start Menu on my Windows 10 system! I haven't tried this recently, but can I still access it by pressing F11 immediately after switching on my PC? More importantly, can I still reset my PC to Factory Settings using the HP Recovery Manager now that I have Windows 10? If not, I might as well delete the HP recovery partition to free up space....

New to the site, a little slow on computer knowledge and ill face it, I AM COMPLETELY INCOMPETENT WITH A PC. So, with that said...

I deleted my Recovery Manager feature off of Windows 7, wondering if it possible to recover? I wanted to restore back to factory settings but it fails every time, pretty sure it is due to the recovery manager being missing. Tried the F11 option also, still no hope. After hours of searching I now realize that it cannot just be added like a regular application but is there any possible way? I ordered the HP Recovery Disc hoping it holds an answer but I'm kinda in a time crunch. Any alternatives?

Hi i have Windows 8 currently installed on my computer which i upgraded from windows 7, i am disliking windows 8 so i want to go back and i remeber there being a recovery manager on windows 7 but i can no longer find it on windows 8. i have looked in my C drive and cannot find it either.

Welcome to the forums!

According to the HP support website, here are the steps to use the recovery manager:

Starting the recovery from Windows Vista
Use the following steps to recover the computer starting from the Windows Vista desktop:
Turn off the computer.Disconnect all connected devices (such as the Personal Media Drive, USB drives, printer, and fax), remove media from drives, and remove any recently added internal hardware. Do not disconnect the monitor, keyboard, mouse, and power cord.Turn on the computer.From the Windows desktop click Start , and then All Programs .Click PC Help & Tools .Click Recovery Manager .
The Recovery Manager Welcome screen appears.Click Next . On the Software Program Re-installation screen select No , and then click Next .On the Hardware Re-installation screen select No , and then click Next .On the screen that prompts for Microsoft System Restore select No , and then click Next .The Recovery Manager prompts if you want to restore the computer to its original factory shipped condition. Click Yes , and then click Next .
The computer restarts and opens the Recovery Manager program.Click Next .On the Microsoft System Restore screen select No , and then click Next .Confirm that you want to run a System Recovery by selecting Yes , and then click Next .The Recovery Manager gives you the option of backing up your data files. Backing up your files is recommended. To back up your files select Yes , and then click Next . Follow the onscreen instructions.
If you do not want to backup your files, select No , and then click Next .After the System Recovery is complete, the computer restarts and continues into Windows setup. Complete the setup screens and wait until the computer finishes the setup. Then, turn off the computer, reconnect all peripheral devices, and turn on the computer.Before using the computer, update and protect your computer. Reinstall any virus and security software that was installed before the System Recovery.Reinstall any software applications that were added after puchasing the computer, and any files that were backed up.

If you can't access the recovery manager with these steps or it's not working, you'll need to order recovery disks from HP directly.
Please let us know if this works for you.

A:recovery manager

Hello, Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum. If the computer arrived with Windows preinstalled and if you did not attemp to manually remove HP Recovery manager software then it should be there. You can click on the Start button of Windows and type its name to search for it. If you would like to perform system recovery, here are the official instructions >> http://support.hp.com/bg-en/document/c04758961#AbT0 If you simply want to create recovery media, here are the official instructions >> http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03481733 (even though it states Win 8, it will work for Win 10, as well.) Please, let me know if this works for you.

I have pressed F11 key on startup and searched recovery manager on the search but hp recovery manager didnt come. Can anyone tell me what to do ?

A:where is recovery manager?

Hello, Thank you for posting in the HP Support forum. Welcome! HP Recovery is only available for comuter that originally came with Windows preinstalled by HP (a.k.a. OEM Windows). It will appear if the recovery partitions are working and intact. Once you start your computer after pressing the power-on button, keep hitting the Esc button (like tap-tap-tap).Then an HP boot options will appear and you can choose the recovery options. Alternatively, start to Windows and load it from there. More information can be found in the HP official article >> http://support.hp.com/bg-en/document/c04758961 (Win 10)>> http://support.hp.com/bg-en/document/c03489643 (Win 8/8.1) If the recovery partitions are not working, if you want to recover your machine to factory default condition, you may have to reinstall Windows and/or purchase recovery media from HP to restore to factory default condition. Let me know if this works for you.

Recently, I tried to install some service pack update & it wreaked havoc on my computer. After fiddling around with it (it had basically frozen while installing the pack), the whole thing ended up wiping Everything clean & in the end, I needed the install disc to fix it. (which I *just* found)

So now I'm stuck on some "Welcome Window" & it won't connect to the internet. I know the connection works, cause I'm using the same broadband line to it on my laptop now. I keep reading online about fixing w/ a "Recovery Manager" in the start menu, but I'm not seeing that anywhere. There's an error I see that says "Error 815"..."WAN miniport", etc.What to do now? Thanks.

If there's here any user with a Hewlett-Packard PC that has preinstalled Windows 7 , maybe has notice that has some recovery tools, which are call "Recovery Manager" and is showed in the start menu. Inside the program there are many options, and two of them are which I need further information. (Sory but the interface is in Spanish, anywhere options are positioned in the same place of the English version... I think :s)

One of them (mark as number 1 in red) allows to restore the computer to its original factory condition. So what I figure out is that the program will format the hard drive and will install install everything from scratch. Am I rigth?The other option (mark as number 2 in red) allows to delete the recovery partition. Is that recovery partition the same which is common name as FACTORY_IMAGE ?

If anyone KNOWS something about this, please give me a hand, thanks.

A:Need help with Recovery Manager

Unless it gives you a further option for Non-Destructive Recovery which saves your files, a Factory Recovery will wipe the HD first before putting it back to factory condition.

It can also be run from boot by tapping the F11 key at bootup.

Make the Recovery Disk set from within that Windows7 utility now so you have another option, or can then consider wiping the Recovery partition although having it as another backup is probably wise with a Win7 computer.

Many tech enthusiasts find a clean-copy retail installer for their version to clean reinstall without the factory bloatware, using the Product Key on COA sticker on machine. In that case, you can wipe the HD before reinstalling, but make the Recovery disks first as sometimes the maker requires factory install to service hardware warranty.

ive recently created the recovery disc from the recovery manager, ive installed it, say it would turn my laptop to the original factory setting, after i installed it, everything is clear, as i expected, but however, now my laptop performance shrink ALOT! i mean ALOT! i cant even run Need For Speed Undercover properly in the lowest graphical settings, do anyone know whats the problem here?

ive checked the graphic card to see if its installed properly after the recovery and it is install and working properly, do anyone know the problem here?

however after the recovery, i didnt seen to care about the window update that much, could this be the problem?does updates make a difference? my laptop has Intel Dou Core @ 2GHz and has 2GB RAM, and graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS, my laptop now cant even run games at high graphics setting where prior to the recovery i can and very smooth

A:HP recovery Manager

Start by updating all of your drivers.

EDIT:and yes, windows updates can make a huge difference. For example, no windows updates, no directx.

im having some very painful problems with my computer. i had to reformat my system so i made a backup using the HP recovery manager which backed my files in an external hardrive and they are names as Backup.001.exe and backup.002.fbw etc until 005

after i installed a fresh new vista i execute my backup.001.exe and when it tells me to click next it freezes for a minute then its back to normal and the next button dont work... (the next button does not take me to the next step of restoring, it stays in the same page)

the next button is active but does not take me to the next step so i cannot back my files up... i need help badly.. there is atleast 2 years of data in those backup files... i cannot get them running

Hi my Compaq presario laptop has been corrupted by a virus...unfortunately, I did not take a recovery disk. Although I am able to access my vista I am not sure if I make the recovery disk now, it will reset my comp to current condition(with viruses) or factory outlet ????? What should I do????

A:Recovery manager

Backup your files, shut off the PC, turn power on again and keep tapping F11. That will get you to the reinstallation wizard - follow the prompts.

When I open my HP Recovery Manager and select "yes" for the Software Program Re-Installation, the Select a program to install window appears (like it should) EXCEPT it is EMPTY!!!!Where is the list of all the programs that we installed on my computer when I first used it?

If you have a HP computer then HP has it's own Recovery Manager HP version of System Restore installed called HP Recovery Manager You can uninstall this in Programs and HP Recovery Manager Features I ran across this statement in Tutorials It needs some clarifications In Pavillion and Presario notebooks HP Rec Mgr does more than just System restore And btw HP does not have its own version of SR It runs Windows' version HP Rec Mgr has other functions Re-install original software programs and hardware drivers and complete System Recovery restoring the original hard disk factory template It can be utilized to create a set of recovery discs In HP Business notebook Rec Mgr does not re-install software progs and drivers but does the others listed in Pavilion Presario models I don't think HP Recovery Manager should be uninstalled Or if perchance he meant uninstalling System Restore be aware that HP Rec Mgr will be unable to system restore on its own if Windows SR is unstalled or disabled

A:HP Recovery Manager

Umm where did you see that cause you can't uninstall it and its not even listed in the Program and Features. You can only disable the windows system restore. I'm pretty sure all HP products have the Recovery Manager to restore you computer to Factory Condition.

My Hp Laptop Was In The Process Of Getting An OS Update & My Sister Turned It Off (As A Prank) Before Windows 10 Finished Installing. Long Story Short I Had To Reinstall Windows 7 On It But Before Downloading Win 10 I Had To Free Up Space On My Recovery (Partition). So I Formatted It. Now I Don't Have HP Recovery Manager Or Any Other HP Factory Apps. How Can I Get Those Back?

A Recovery disk set is quite fragile and can be destroyed with a single scratch on the disk label. A usb recovery flashdrive is, unlike a recovery DVD, quite durable. If you install Linux on the hard disk it will change the bootloader if you are not careful and no longer allow you to boot to Windows. Making a usb recovery flashdrive will not remove the ability to use F11 unless you make any changes to the D: Recovery partition. That is where the Recovery Manager boots from when you use F11.

Too many computer manufacturers don't furnish a Vista installation DVD with their pcs that are pre-installed with Vista. Often they only have a hidden recovery partition that you can access to take back your pc to its original factory installation state! (Thus you lose your data and all installed applications, setting changes, etc.)If you don't have an installation DVD, then you cannot reinstall Vista without using this recovery partition, and you cannot access the new Vista Recovery Environment, which is what corresponds to XP's Recovery Console. So, if you don't have a Vista installation DVD, what do you do in order to access the Vista Recovery Environment, at least? You go to this site and download the makings for a recovery disk:Windows Vista Recovery Disc Download &#x2014; The NeoSmart Files

As far as formatting your hard disk, you can boot from the sytem recovery disk you download from the URL above, then go to the Command Prompt section of the Recovery Environment, then use the FORMAT command to format, as explained in this tutorial:

How to use the Command Prompt in the Vista Windows Recovery Environment

I want to restore my G60 to factory settings. It came preinstalled with Vista. Not sure if its 32 or 64 bit. When I enter the recovery manager, the directions state to make sure the wireless connection is enabled. The computer button is red indicating the wireless connection is turned off. I press it, and nothing happens, it remains red. I don't think the issue is the internet connection because if I boot up the computer normally I do get an internet connection. Not sure if I should continue to the next step in the recovery manager or not since I don't appear to have an internet connection in there. Help please. Thank you.

Upgraded to Windows 7 from vista but now I cant revover my files that I backed up before to this version cause the hp recovery manager freezes around when it gets to 12% of the first disk. If possible I would like to get those files back. Any ideas anyone?

Getting error code FFFFFF15 then i click on ok and come up with error code=45D can anyone tell me if this is a motherboard problem and will it be easier for me to buy a new laptop or to get it fixed

A:Hp recovery manager

Please explain in more detail what you are attempting to do when you see the error code. Are you trying to perform an HP recovery for the notebook from the onboard HP Recovery Manager? Did you create USB or DVD recovery media? You can boot to recovery media to invoke the HP Recovery Manager and perform a recovery.

Your specs say, HP PC with Windows 8 x86, therefore not Pre-installed, HP Recovery Manager would only work on the old OS & not on the upgraded OS.

Help. My Hp Touchsmart 300 won't boot up windows it goes to the blue house screen when switched on. If I press F11 it will only let me do a system recovery with warning it will go back to factory setting. I want to "file back up program" but it is greyed off and won't let me click it.

Hello, Welcome to the HP Support forum. Thank you for post. Some (most) HP Recovery procedures include procedure to back-up files before the actual recovery process. However, yoy may back-up your files this way usig external software.Please, download GNU/Linux version - > Linux Mint XFCE 18 - Linux based OS. >> https://linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=222 Download/save the ISO image. You need to write it on a new blank DVD or on empty USB thumbdrive (min 2 GB capacity).

Select the thumb drive as boot option.You will now boot from Linux Mint media. Once ready and once you open the Files, you will notice it has automatically mounted your PC's HDD - you will be able to browse through your directories and copy/backup to external device the required files. Once ready, you can use the F11 option to reimage your PC / restote to factory default condition.Hope this helps, let me know how it goes.

My query is that if i delete the recovery partition, can i get it back if i restore the netbook to factory condition through recovery disks.

A:HP Recovery Manager......

HP's recovery DVDs will not perform a Repair Install ...It's also a good idea to make a Repair CD ...

After You remove the recovery partition .. W7 can resize the system partition to fill in the unused space ..W7 can Extend or Shrink a partition.

Any partition resizing can be risky .. Make sure you have your data backed up.

I'm not sure about W7 .. but it used to be that if you removed the recovery partition ..Then tried to use it to recover a HP supplied application ... it would know that the recovery partition was missing .. and ask for the recovery DVDs

I had to reinstall Windows 10 due to a major Windows file corruption issue. In the process, I lost my HP recovery manager. Can the HP Recovery Manager be restored? I am trying to recover some of the original software applications which were on the desktop.

A:Can the HP Recovery Manager be downloaded?

Hi: Unfortunately, the HP Recovery Manager software cannot be downloaded for your model PC. In any event, it does not contain the operating system, or any individual programs that came with your PC. All the recovery manager software does is to provide a method to access the recovery partition to restore the hard drive to its out of the box condition. If the bundled software is very important to you, you can always purchase as set of recovery disks for your PC and re-upgrade to W8.1 and then to W10. http://support.hp.com/us-en/mediaorder/HP-ENVY-h8-1400-Desktop-PC-series/5295996/model/5296875/softw...

Due to my hard drive failing, I can only use the recovery program by pressing f11 on boot up. In the backup section, I have a 1TB external hard drive attached, with ~500 gigs of free space, and my internal harddrive had around 750 GBs used.So my question is, if I select all the backup options on the recovery manager, will the program wipe my external hard drive or will it compress the backup and make it fit in 500 GBs? I don't want my External HD to get wiped as it has a lot of family photos.

I format the HP Pavilion dv6 with iso unofficial and HP programs are not I need the recovery manager

HP laptop would boot to "blue screen" - could not read error quick enough - finally decided to restore to original setup through HP Recover Manager. Made a backup of files and proceeded with reinstall. Everything looked fine - HP software installing, desktop was there, installed video card driver... Installed the video driver, laptop shut down and now stuck in a loop with Recovery Manager. Keeps asking if I want to recreate a factory image. Already done that...stuck in a loop. Help!

I recently bought a refurb HP Desktop. It does not come with the windows disks, so I'd like to create a windows iso to USB or disk as a backup. Microsoft website tells me to contact the manufacturer as this version of windows was a factory install. HP tell me to use the Recovery Manager software. However, this is not installed on my PC. I've looked on the HP software website for my machine and version of windows and there is no Recovery Manager available for download. Does anyone know how I can get the HP Recovery Manager to create my Windows iso backup usb or disk? Thanks, Chris

I'm in trouble. So I wanted to factory reset my Windows 10. When I die that there was an error and my pc went into à reboot cycle. I tried to troubleshoot it nut it would say there was an error when I would refresh and I needed a disk to restore to factory settings. It would stay in à boot cycle of I turned it on and off. Then I tried the recovery manager. Now it says restoration incomplete, even if I retry and the save log wont work either. I updated my pc to Windows 10. So if the recovery does work it Will go back to Windows 8.1 and I don't want that either. Whenever I turn of and turn on my pc now itll go back to the recovery manager and it Will give the same error. Someone help me please

I just bought my computer and it came with Windows 8.1 installed. I reserved Windows 10 so I will receive the upgrade when that OS becomes available. I want to create a recovery set, but if I use HP Recovery Manager now to create the set it will have Windows 8.1. Can I wait a couple of weeks and then create recovery disks after I have Windows 10?

A:HP Recovery Manager and Windows 10

Recovery partiton contains windows 8.1 - It will create only recovery of windows 8.1 even if you install Windows 10 or 8 or 7.The windows 10 copy that you will get is from microsoft and not HP and its free.so if you ever need to re-install, you will have to install windows 8.1 and then perform the upgrade again. You can also download the win10 ISO and burn it to a disc or create a bootable USB Flash Drive to install from and use your microsoft account to activate win10.

Hi, You'll need to use your Recovery Media to reinstall Windows 7 - a guide on using this media to reinstall Windows is on the document below. Performing A System Recovery - Windows 7. If you don't have this, see if you can still order it from HP on the link below. http://support.hp.com/us-en/mediaorder/HP-Pavilion-dv7-6100-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/5082216...
